    Gallade
    Choice Band
    Adamant nature
    EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 SDef
    Close Combat
    Psycho Cut
    Night Slash
    Leaf Blade

    Physical Sweeper of doom. Gallade is one of my favorite Pokemon, and he sure gets the job done here. The four attacks are good for STAB and type coverage.

    Houndoom
    Item???
    Timid nature
    EVs: 252 SAtk/ 40HP/ 216 Spe
    Flamethrower
    Nasty Plot
    Sludge Bomb
    Substitute

    Huzzah for my Special Sweeper. I was debating between Houndoom and Roserade, but chose this in the end because I love Nasty Plot. Was that a wise decision? I thought so, but I'm open to opinions and change.

    Careful nature
    EVs: 252 HP/ 136 Def/ 120 SDef
    Milk Drink
    Heal Bell
    Curse
    Body Slam

    Cleric and attacker, with the sets and EVs stolen from Smogon. Hey, it works.

    Weezing
    Lefties
    Lax nature
    EVs: 252 HP/ 240 Def/ 16 Atk
    Pain Split/ Haze
    Will-o-wisp
    Payback
    Explosion

    Physical Wallness. Very effective, with Will-o-wisp for status, Payback for an attack, Pain Split for recovery or Haze for... well... Hazing. Explosion is a last resort only, but it's really useful at times. If I'm going down, I'm going down in flames!

    Spiritomb
    Lefties
    Gentle nature
    EVs: 252 HP/ 240 SDef/ 16 SAtk
    Shadow Ball
    Pain Split
    Calm Mind
    Taunt

    My Special Wall. Calm Mind is perfect here, because it raises the two stats Spiritomb's using in this set. Shadow Ball is for STAB, Pain Split for recovery, and Taunt to prevent Hazing and Status and other annoying things.

    Wobbuffet
    Item???
    252 Def/ 252 SDef/ 4 HP
    Mirror Coat
    Counter
    Safeguard
    Encore

    Oh no, it's Wobbuffet! Welcome to OU (yes, it's OU now, so don't start lecturing).​

    EDIT: It was recently pointed out to me that there's been a vote regarding Wobbuffet and, though it's still OU, it may be moving back to the Ubers tier soon. I may start looking for a replacement for my final slot. It was foolish of me to choose such a controversial Pokemon for my team, anyway.

    If you have access, Ice Punch is also good. Also, Gallade makes a better bulky CBer rather than frail. Pump less speed and more HP as an option.

    Nasty Plot Life Orb Fire Blast 2HKOs Blissey sometimes. Consider Hidden Power or Will-O-Wisp (To hit Heatran or to cripple incoming physical threats respectively.) Sludge Bomb has no real purpose here, so Dark Pulse sounds much better.
    Sludge Bomb doesn't cover anything really...Dark Pulse = win.

    DD Gyarados causes problems, so Thunderbolt is a MUST on this thing before you explode.

    I really don't know...This thing is easily shut down by any normal type. Consider Defense EVs to help it wall better while CMing up.

    Wobbuffet

    Eh...okay.​

    Garchomp can pose to be really troublesome to EVERYTHING on your team if it has Swords Dance. Mispredict with Wobbuffet, and it's over. You really need a Steel type that is bulky.

    I'll let a better rater help fix more problems.
     
    I dont get why people bother suggesting Fire Blast, HP Fight and Flamethrower is also a 2HKO on Blissey after NP (guaranteed with stealth rock/spikes)

    Maybe it's just personal, but Fire Blast always seems to miss long enough for Blissey to recover the damage off.
     
    I have an idea for you, if it ever comes down to Wobbu vs. Wobbu. Try using Shed Shell as your item.
     
    Smogon has also booted Wobbuffet out of OU, so please change that. I would show you the thread for the new OU list but we're not allowed, if I'm correct. :( So, if you want something to replace it... I can't answer that right now. Also, Weezing wants Flamethrower >> Payback to deal with Hera and Lucario. You should also consider Thunderbolt on Weezing, to take on Gyarados and not have to blow up on it after it Taunts you. Preferably, Thunderbolt >> Explosion. I also badly recomment Bold and Def EVs for Tomb to take physical hits a little more easily, and the SpD EVs don't matter, since a CM already makes it very hard to take down. So, maybe 252 HP and Defense EVs and Bold >> the current EV spread on Tomb. I also recommend 60 HP/252 Atk/192 Speed as the EV spread for Gallade, just enough to outspeed Jolly T-Tar before a DD.

    So the other Wobb can outstall you with Leftovers? If there are two Wobbs, they can both exit the battlefield.

    I prefer a more bulky set, but whatever.

    Houndoom

    Timid nature
    EVs: 252 SAtk/ 40HP/ 216 Spe
    Flamethrower
    Nasty Plot
    Sludge Bomb Dark Pulse
    Substitute​

    Sludge Bomb is a bad move overall, even with STAB, which this guy lacks. I'd prefer Fire Blast over Flamethrower but if you want him to stick around, be my guest and use Flamethrower. A Houndoom without Dark Pulse will die to Cresselia, which is sad. I don't know what Substitute is accomplishing here. Nasty Plot boost? Anyway, you could replace it with HP Fight for Blissey or HP Ice for Dragons.

    Dislike Payback altogether. You could keep Explosion, but if you do, PLEASE put either Flamethrower (if you fear Hera/Lucario) or Thunderbolt (if you fear Gyarados and friends) over Payback. It accomplishes little.

    My Special Wall. Calm Mind is perfect here, because it raises the two stats Spiritomb's using in this set. Shadow Ball is for STAB, Pain Split for recovery, and Taunt to prevent Hazing and Status and other annoying things.​


    Dislike CM, since Blissey will utterly wall you as well as Snorlax, the latter having the chance to really hurt you.

    Fine, but no one will want to fight you *shot*

    Overall, pretty good team. A lot of BL Pokes, which I like.
     
    Actually, Itachi, Leftovers will stop Houndoom from causing some serious damage. Give Doom a Life Orb and it'll destroy many things.
     
    I found a replacement for Wobbuffet: a Mixed Sweeper.

    Salamence @ Life Orb
    Rash nature
    EVs: 252 SAtk/ 120 Atk/ 136 Spe
    Draco Meteor
    Hydro Pump
    Stone Edge
    Earthquake

    I changed up the basic set a bit because I thought Flamethrower/ Fire Blast might be redundant with Houndoom on board. Is this good?
